Eat Stop Eat 24 Hour Fast Experiment (Part 2)

In part 1 of this series I talked about how I am eating like a fat slob. Anything and everything that I want to eat I am scarfing down. To combat the fat gain I bookended my week long eating fest with a 24 hour fast. I had one 24 hour fast about 5 days ago and I am at the tail-end of my second 24 hour fast as I type this.

I have definitely gained at least a little bit of fat, but that was to be expected. I went from eating quality foods twice per day to mixing Dr. Pepper and ice cream as a mid-morning snack. I’m positive if I hadn’t fasted at all I would have gained more fat.

The fasting itself was quite easy. I actually found it harder to eat so frequently. I don’t know how some of these people eat so much nasty food. I felt like shit most days with a belly full of food. That fullness just slows you down. Yesterday I was full all day and it was like being some sort of fat, waddling Penguin.

As of tomorrow I will be going back to skipping breakfast and just having a small cup of black coffee in the morning. I will likely still be eating some fattening foods, but only two meals per day.

For all the fatso’s who want to believe “it’s what’s on the inside that counts” I have some terrible news for you. Your outsides are a reflection of your insides. To be a fatass is to show the entire world that you have no respect for yourself, you have no discipline, you have no pride, and you have no willpower. It’s like you’re wearing a sign that signs “I don’t respect myself so you shouldn’t respect me either“. For any fatso’s reading this: Get it under control. It’ll be the best thing you ever did.

For you guys that like to eat all day and have some fat you need to get under control I would suggest fasting for 24 hours once or twice a week. Something I do, even when eating only twice per day, is that if I notice too much fat gain I will eat only one giant meal on Saturday and Sundays rather than eat my two customary meals. When Monday rolls around I’m always lean again.

On a side note, it’s easy as can be to get fat eating the standard American diet. Just remember this rule: If it can be eaten right out of the box it isn’t food, it’s fatness added to your belly. And if you want to eat that baloney, like I do, then take some preventative measures and throw in a quick fast here and there.

Why should you fast?

Because the human body was made to feast and famine. When you feast your body adds a layer of fat to take care of the times when you are in famine. When you don’t eat for a period (fast) your body burns up some of that excess body fat. Yin and yang. When you eat all the time you are out of balance and unless you are taking the right hormones it’s going to be extremely hard to burn off body fat eating all the time. Fasting is natures way of getting rid of some nasty body fat.

If some of you muscle-heads are interested in doing a fast but are freaked out about losing muscle mass you can do a modified fast. Instead of eating nothing you can take in a protein shake or two. That should ease your mind a bit and give you some of the benefits of fasting.

And everybody’s happy.
